I haven’t receive very many responses or comments so I have no idea how well the Q1 Challenge was received. There […]

Heckler & Koch (HK) is a very well-known name in the firearms industry, producing some of the finest firearms available on the market. Their iconic MP-5 sub-machine gun has been a weapon of choice for many SWAT and military special operations teams for decades, and was a true joy to use while our SWAT team had them. The HK416 is considered by many to be in the top-tier of AR-15 rifles available, and the new HK VP9 has received raving reviews for its ergonomics, smooth trigger, and accuracy.

...Leupold D-EVO (Dual Enhanced View Optic)
During SHOT Show this year I was only able to briefly visit the Leupold booth, and in my casual look around I totally missed this gem. Leupold has released their D-EVO (Dual Enhanced View Optic), which is an incredible advancement in AR-15 patrol rifle optics for police officers. Obviously, the D-EVO optic has a much broader reach to competition, […]
Officers Charged in Careless Deaths
Barely two months into 2015, and we have two police officers, from different large police agencies, criminally charged for the reckless or negligent killing of another human being.
